[Ti] Keyboard/Screen protection on 17"?

[Wendy Austin & Thomas Oswin]

This is my second TiBook and I have never had marks on the screen from 
skin oil, same goes for my iBook.  Here are the Q & A from the iSkin 
site regarding these issues.

Questions and answers for the iSkin iBook / PowerBook G4 Keyboard 
Protector

(Q) Does the iSkin Keyboard Protector promote heat buildup in the iBook 
and PowerBook?

Tests performed on the iBook and PowerBook G4 show that no considerable 
heat buildup that exceed normal operational temperatures, are caused by 
leaving the keyboard protector on at all times. These tests were 
conducted for a period of 8 to 10 hours per day for several months of 
normal use of the units in normal operational conditions. If for any 
reason this is of concern, simply remove the iSkin Keyboard Protector 
before closing your iBook or PowerBook or when typing is not necessary.

(Q)How does the iSkin Keyboard Protector help against screen staining 
caused by dirt and oils?

The iSkin Keyboard Protector is designed to catch oils and dirt 
transferred by your fingers to your keyboard. These oils in turn 
transfer to the iBook and PowerBook's screen causing stains.

NB Washing

Remove and wash your iSkin Keyboard Protector regularly in a mild 
solution of dishwashing liquid and warm water. Doing so will reduce the 
occurrence of oils and dirt coming in contact with your screen. Air-dry 
your iSkin Keyboard Protector completely before placing onto the 
keyboard.

(Q) What is the iSkin Keyboard Protector made from?

The iSkin Keyboard Protector is made from a thin layer of durable 
high-grade silicone.
The silicone is translucent to allow the keyboard characters to show 
through. The Asphalt and Snow keyboard protectors are made from 
non-translucent silicone and have screen printed characters on them.
